caller: good morning, obama is quite a hypocrite. he just attended that fund- raiser at that home of tony hamilton, the ceo of blackstone, an equity firm. he does not know how business works. that is the meaning of this story. he is over his head when it comes to anything that has to do with the economy. he is just a start ideologue. what would you expect from a man whose only experiences are as a community organizer. ? you have mayor booker, harold ford, stephen ratner saying what they are saying. democratic governors who are dependent on the bond market to fund their plot -- pension plans will not be able to go with you, mr. obama. the president cannot see two moves ahead. he is as an amateur. host: let's look at the headline in "the washington post." listen to the president in his own words yesterday. >> cory booker is now standing there and doing outstanding work in newark and helping us turn the city around. i think it is important to recognize that this issue is not a distraction. this is part of the debate we will be having in

we will hear from obama. initially, we saw this in the polls, this has resonated, their traditional scare seniors about medicare tactics. that has been working really well. so i think obama will bring that up. one thing we will hear is the phrase that romney would end medicare's guarantee, which is a phrase the democrats have liked to use recently. we have raided that half-true for two reasons. one, it is not like it really has a guarantee now. congress can change the medicare benefits any time it wants to. it frequently has. now, romney would change the structure in which people would pay for medicare. it would go from being -- it would turn into the essentially a voucher plan. in that sense, we found some truth and rated it as half- truth. >> thank you, bill. our next prediction from glenn kessler, checker of facts, awarder of pinocchios. what will we see? >> i have two. they both deal with medicare. one thing i always say, the more complicated a subject is, the more susceptible it is stretching the truth.
